Rob Loukotka Desk of Dr. Venkman & Mystery Print Giveaway

Finally. As the 6th desk in Rob Loukotka's Famous Desks series, he illustrated the office of Dr. Peter Venkman. As a kid, Rob watched Ghostbusters on loop every single day, so he was surprised at how many of these items he could almost draw from memory.

The desk itself is pretty accurate to the location in the film, and Rob spun the viewpoint around so we can see the Ecto-1 in the garage area as well.

There are 33 items hidden throughout the poster, coming from both films in the series. (Admittedly, MOST of the items are Ghostbusters I, but there’s some Ghostbusters II stuff as well).

The variant for this Famous Desk poster has the same design and inks in the daytime… but when you switch off the lights there’s an entire SLIME layer! Like any glow in the dark poster, you’ll need to “charge” the glowing ink by having lights on for a while, then you can see the glow design after you turn off the lights. Pro tip: Shine your cell phone’s flashlight onto the design (in the dark) and you can watch the ink do cool glow trails.

Rob is also doing a mystery print giveaway all week on his website. https://fringefocus.com Basically he is printing some mystery 8x8" prints here in house, with a wood block technique. These will be signed and numbered, and limited to a timed edition of however many orders he gets this week. These prints are free with any order, and are automatically added to the cart with any purchase whatever. Cool cool! This offer runs until December 4th Friday.
